The `percentiles` and `percentile_ranks` aggregations used to return `NaN` in
the response if they were applied to an empty set of values. Because `NaN` is
not officially supported by JSON, it has been replaced with `null`.

==== `stats` and `extended_stats` now return 0 instead of `null` for zero docs
When the `stats` and `extended_stats` aggregations collected zero docs (`doc_count: 0`),
their value would be `null`. This was in contrast with the `sum` aggregation which
would return `0`. The `stats` and `extended_stats` aggs are now consistent with
`sum` and also return zero.

==== PUT Document with Version error message changed when document is missing
If you attempt to `PUT` a document with versioning (e.g. `PUT /test/_doc/1?version=4`)
but the document does not exist, a cryptic message is returned:
[source,text]
----------
version conflict, current version [-1] is different than the one provided [4]
----------
Now if the document is missing a more helpful message is returned:
[source,text]
----------
document does not exist (expected version [4])
----------
Although exceptions messages are liable to change and not generally subject to
backwards compatibility, the nature of this message might mean clients are relying
on parsing the version numbers and so the format change might impact some users.

==== Cluster state size metrics removed from Cluster State API Response
The `compressed_size` / `compressed_size_in_bytes` fields were removed from
the Cluster State API response. The calculation of the size was expensive and had
dubious value, so the field was removed from the response.
[float]
==== Migration Assistance API has been removed
The Migration Assistance API has been functionally replaced by the
Deprecation Info API, and the Migration Upgrade API is not used for the
transition from ES 6.x to 7.x, and does not need to be kept around to
repair indices that were not properly upgraded before upgrading the
cluster, as was the case in 6.
[float]
==== Changes to thread pool naming in Node and Cat APIs
The `thread_pool` information returned from the Nodes and Cat APIs has been
standardized to use the same terminology as the thread pool configurations.
This means the response will align with the configuration instead of being
the same across all the thread pools, regardless of type.
[float]
==== Return 200 when cluster has valid read-only blocks
If the cluster was configured with `no_master_block: write` and lost its master,
it would return a `503` status code from a main request (`GET /`) even though
there are viable read-only nodes available. The cluster now returns 200 status
in this situation.
[float]
==== Clearing indices cache is now POST-only
Clearing the cache indices could previously be done via GET and POST. As GET should
only support read only non state-changing operations, this is no longer allowed.
Only POST can be used to clear the cache.

==== Ingest configuration exception information is now transmitted in metadata field

==== Ingest plugin special handling has been removed
There was some special handling for installing and removing the `ingest-geoip` and
`ingest-user-agent` plugins after they were converted to modules. This special handling
was done to minimize breaking users in a minor release, and would exit with a status code
zero to avoid breaking automation.
This special handling has now been removed.
